hi there,
i am quite interested with this moto v3x.
but after a research on the net, i found out most of the ppl is complaining about this phone.
EG:
1: MP3 does not play even though it says its supported. (What is CBR and VBR?)
2: Real and wmv does not play too...
*Both of the above shows "File format not supported"

3: New contact when saved to phone book, will disrupt/destroy the existing phonebook.
4:Message tone.
For eg:
a 2 minit MP3 is assigned to a contact name as ringtone.WHen this contact
send a sms, the SMS ringtone will sing for 2 minit regardless u have read or not
the SMS.(Same as O2 mini)

*ALl the above are read from Overseas forum. Not sure if malaysian version of these
v3x have these problems. Anyone using v3x and mind to share their experience?

*Is the ringtone/speaker loud enough?O2 mini is not loud enough.....

Hello.Anyway I Own V3X And Works Fine.You Can Upgrade It And Do Some Mod To Make It More Cool.Like Unlimited Video Recording(Original Only 8 Second), Make The Sound Louder(Basic Not Too Loud).Camera 2.0 M And The Menu Looks Cool.You Can Take Pic With Close Flip And Motorola Give Stereo Headset.For Me V3x Is Ok And You Should Buy It.Fantastic Internal Screen.8x Zoom..Wallah

Thanx for sharing.
Anyway, did you encounter any of the problems i mentioned above?

IMHO , you need to test the phone with these problems first.
1) most phones support mp3 up to a certain BitRate. CBR is constant BR while the V stands for variable. for instance, L7 supports up to 192kbps , anything above that and it doesnt work.
2)v3x prolly doesn't support real and wmv. i dont think any phone apart from symbians support wmv , while real is ... lol
3)prolly bullshit ... or an isolated error
4)not sure , try it out at the shop before u buy la.

i believe moto's speaker volume is loud enough.
gd luck in your purchase!

Thankz for the info.
But now this is getting weirder.....

On motorola website, i found the following information:
1: Video capture and playback with sound (H.263, MPEG4, 3GPP) : MPEG4, WMV, WMA, WAV, Real, 3GPP
2: Audio : Support of AAC+, MPEG4, WMV, WMA, MP3 and Real Video/Audio files

But from your reply, you said real and wmv supported.Means got support or not 1 arh?(Not to flame you
or anything arh....just that i am in confusion)

3: Display Type : large 240 x 320 TFT colour main display; 2.2 inch screen, external: CLI 96 x 80, 65K colour TFT

But on their same website, in the "Compare phone" section, they shows:
Display:colour (Not TFT colour)
But v3 and v3i shows TFT colour.
Is motorola trying to con people?Or i am stupid?


Went to phone shop intending to try....
but maybe my looks and the vegetables i bought.....they gave me a dummy set instead....
the other shop....gave me a phone...but no sim card, therefore kenot try.....sad.gif

symbian phones support wmv mer ?? i thought most symbian phones support 3gp ?? i thought only windows mobile phones support wma and wmv usually ?

bro i tested personally and V3X CAN PLAY MP3 !! :>


er....arh.....i know o2 mini can support these...but as above stated in motorola website....WMV and WMA supported.....but i read some forums....saying not supported...... shakehead.gif

i think changing the setting like increasing the sound volume and changing the video recording time should be quite safe since you do not need to flash the phone's firmware, just need to change the flex a bit.

You good with it?

Whats flex?
just got my moto yesterday rclxm9.gif

Thank you terion. I have successfully changed the sound volume and added skins to my v3x.
HOwever, can you please help me on someting.......
If i am not mistaken,the v3x has a built in camera flash.
How do i use it?all i found is a "Light" which can be turn on and off instead of a
flash function...........

The cover is nice~
i changed to v3x due to my job.
Now i noticed that my finger prints always on the phone.
Where can we get the hard cover?all i found was the soft plastic type.

Does changing L7 battery into it will increase battery life?
If yes, later go sapu satu bijik.This phone(to my usage),doesnt really
feel secure with it. It goes down very fast the battery.



ANyone having problem with their alarm function?(V3X)
It looks wierd to me. The alarm wont play the MP3...not always...
Today works, tomoro not.
the day after tomoro works, then not the following....
